Fence Replacement for Frisco’s 2000s Neighborhoods

Almost every house in Frisco is new. That one fact changes what a fence company in Frisco, TX actually gets hired to do here. We’re based in Plano, straight south of you, and Frisco sits well inside the area we cover. Nearly every job we take is a re-fence: the old fence comes out, gets hauled off, and a new one goes up.

Frisco’s housing stock tells the rest of it. The median home here was built in 2009. About 74.8 percent of the houses here went up in 2000 or later. Roughly 28,000 were built between 2000 and 2009. Another 32,000 followed between 2010 and 2019.

Those neighborhoods got fenced at build-out, by the builder, all in the same season. So they’re wearing out on the same clock. When the fence three doors down comes apart the same spring yours does, that isn’t bad luck.

  • Posts go 3 feet into the ground, and up to 4 feet where the lot allows it.
  • Every post is heavy duty galvanized steel, coated so it will not rust.
  • Posts sit 6 feet apart instead of the 8 foot industry standard.
  • A kicker board runs along the bottom, so wood never touches dirt.

We tear out the old fence, haul it off, and haul off everything our crew creates.

Frisco’s Fence Construction Standards

Most cities set a height limit and stop there. Frisco keeps going. It does not leave the structure of a tall fence to the builder. The city writes into its own code what the posts have to be and how close together they go.

That matters when you’re holding two quotes. In Frisco, a cheaper fence can also be a fence the city won’t allow. What that code asks for is how we’ve built since day one, in every city we work. Here it happens to be the law.

Steel Posts and Concrete Footings

The city is specific about what holds the fence up. It requires the posts to be galvanized steel, which is steel coated so it will not rust. Each one gets set in concrete.

Our posts are the same heavy duty galvanized steel, in every fence, every city. We didn’t start doing that because Frisco asked.

Post Spacing

The taller the fence, the closer together Frisco makes the posts sit. Most fences around here get a post every 8 feet. On a tall fence, the city asks for tighter than that, and it says so in its own code.

Our signature build is an 8 foot pre-stained cedar board on board fence with a top cap. That’s the kind of fence Frisco is strictest about. We already space posts 6 feet apart and set them 3 feet deep, on every fence, at every height.

An 8 foot fence in Frisco is not a 6 foot fence with longer boards. It takes more posts and more concrete in the ground.

Kicker Board and Wood Protection

Frisco requires the bottom of the fence to be built so wood never contacts the ground. It also requires the wood to be stained, sealed, painted, or pressure treated within 30 days of going up.

  • Every fence we build gets a kicker board along the bottom to keep the pickets up out of the dirt.
  • The sealing rule is where pre-stained cedar earns its keep. The boards arrive already finished. Your fence is sealed the day it’s built, instead of becoming a second job you chase down later.
  • Frisco publishes its fence rules in the City of Frisco Code of Ordinances, Chapter 18, Article IX, and we build to them.

Fence Permits and HOA Approval in Frisco

A full fence replacement in Frisco needs a city fence permit. Smaller maintenance work may not. We check what your lot needs before we quote it, so nothing about the permit is a surprise later.

Nearly every fence we build is a full replacement. On a Frisco job, that means a permitted job, and we plan the schedule around it.

HOA approval and city approval are two separate things. Frisco is full of master-planned neighborhoods with architectural review. A letter from your HOA doesn’t replace the city permit. The city permit doesn’t satisfy your HOA.

Before anyone digs, the utility companies come mark the buried lines in your yard. You hear from us three to four business days ahead of that. Strangers will be walking your grass with paint and little flags. Leave the gates unlocked and nobody has to knock.

  • Frisco keeps front yard fences low and mostly see-through.
  • A front yard fence also can’t block the visibility triangle, the clear sight line drivers need at a corner.
  • Behind the house the rules loosen, and you can build for real privacy.
  • A corner lot is held to more than a lot in the middle of the block.

None of this holds one city over. Fence rules change at the city line, and we build to the city your fence is actually in.

Fences We Build for Frisco Homes

This is residential work only. We build for Frisco homeowners, on the houses they live in.

    Fence Installation

    Most Frisco yards are on their first fence, so the old one coming out is the builder’s. Replacing a builder fence in Frisco is a different job than replacing one already redone once.

  • An unstained cedar fence with a top cap rail.

    Cedar Fence Installation

    Cedar is what we build with, and it takes a finish well. Frisco expects your wood to be sealed, not left bare. Our cedar fencing is built for exactly that.

  • A pre-stained side-by-side cedar fence along a driveway.

    Pre-Stained Cedar Fence Installation

    The boards are finished before they ever reach your yard. That’s cedar that arrives pre-stained, and it meets Frisco’s sealing rule on the day the fence is built.

  • A tall cedar privacy fence behind a planted border.

    Privacy Fence Installation

    Frisco allows a rear yard fence up to 8 feet, and most people here want every inch. Where the sight lines come from decides how a Frisco privacy fence gets laid out.

  • A board-on-board cedar gate at a brick home.

    Board on Board Fence Installation

    The boards overlap, so there’s no gap to see through even after the wood shrinks in July. Some Frisco homeowners call board on board a double sided fence.

  • A gray horizontal fence enclosing a backyard.

    Horizontal Fence Installation

    Boards run sideways instead of up and down. It’s a cleaner look that suits Frisco’s newer architecture. Our horizontal cedar fencing gets the same post spec as everything else.

  • A wrought iron fence and gate at a home entry.

    Wrought Iron Fence Installation

    On a greenbelt or pond lot, the view is the whole point of the yard. Open wrought iron keeps it, and it also suits the low, see-through fence Frisco wants out front.

  • An arched cedar gate frame being repaired.

    Fence Repair

    A fence this new should not be coming apart yet, and here it usually is not age. Storm damage and builder shortcuts are what we find on most fence repair calls in Frisco.

  • Stain being sprayed onto a backyard fence.

    Fence Staining

    Color and protection for wood that sits in full North Texas sun most of the year. Staining is how a cedar fence keeps looking like it did the week it went up.

What Wears Fences Out in Frisco

Frisco is still going up. The city has grown about 537 percent since the 2000 census. It was the fastest growing city in the United States in 2017. As of early 2026, it’s still only about 87 percent developed.

In a yard, that shows up two ways. Freshly graded black clay that hasn’t settled yet. Wide open wind, before the trees get any size on them. Posts move on lots like that.

Under all of it sits Blackland Prairie clay. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, working on a post every year of its life.

Heat does the other half of the damage. Sun bakes the boards until the wood dries and shrinks. Pressure treated pine can warp and go jagged along the top within months. We build with cedar instead.

Storms are the real test. In May 2024, hail and 80 mph winds crossed Collin County. Shallow, widely spaced fences come down. Deep, tightly spaced ones are still standing.

  • My Mom and Dad found Mom’s Fence Man they were so pleased with their quality workmanship on their new fence and I was so happy to hear how they had such a great experience. I also had a beautiful new gate with fence built and most recently a new beautiful shared backyard fence. They went above and beyond communicating from the beginning with several easy to understand quotes to updates through the materials arriving and updates of their arrival on the day of work. Throughout the process from the beginning up to the building of my new fence I was able to continue my daily work and scheduled appointments with no interruptions and have peace of mind.

  • My experience with Mom’s Fence Man in replacing my old 6’ fence with a beautifully crafted 8’ fence was 100% positive. The communication was excellent from start to finish. I always knew what to expect and the timelines given were accurate so I was able to plan my time accordingly. Bill helped with the design options and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Home repairs and improvements have always been something I dread, but this experience showed me that doesn’t have to be the case if you have the right company. I highly recommend them.

  • When I called Bill he answered the phone and we made an appointment to get an estimate to repair my fence. He showed up on time and provided a reasonable estimate. Two weeks later as scheduled his reliable and professional crew arrived on time and completed my repairs the same day to my satisfaction. He was very nice and honest to work with. If I need more repairs in the future I will call him. I recommend you at least call for an estimate and I think you will be pleased! (I had called another company after I spoke to Bill to get a second estimate and to this day they never returned my call. That he answered my call impressed me a lot!)

Neighborhoods We Cover

Here’s something almost nobody mentions: Frisco sits in two counties. Most of the city is Collin County. The western side is Denton County. We work both sides of that line.

Starwood is gated and guarded, with more than 900 custom homes spread across 550 acres of rolling ground. Frisco Lakes by Del Webb is a 55 and older community of nearly 3,000 homes. Those went up between 2006 and 2020, on the Denton County side. We also build in Richwoods on the east side, and in Panther Creek Estates and Grayhawk to the north. Shaddock Creek sits in central Frisco, along with Lawler Park and The Trails of West Frisco.

Our trucks run the Dallas North Tollway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, also called State Highway 121, most weeks. Preston Road, State Highway 289, gets us up and down the middle of town. US 380 and FM 423 cover the north and the west. If your street is anywhere near The Star or Stonebriar Centre, we’re already out that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall can a fence be in Frisco, TX?

Up to 8 feet in the rear yard. The front yard is a different rule. Frisco keeps front yard fences low and mostly see-through. Our signature build is an 8 foot cedar board on board fence with a top cap. That’s the tallest privacy Frisco allows behind your house.

What are the fence rules for a corner lot in Frisco?

Your fence can’t block the visibility triangle at the intersection, the clear sight line drivers need at a corner. How much room that takes depends on the streets your lot sits on. It changes where the fence line can actually run, so it’s worth catching before we dig, not after.

My HOA and the City of Frisco say different things. Which one do I follow?

Both. They’re separate approvals and neither one replaces the other. Your HOA controls how the fence looks and what it’s made of inside your neighborhood. The city controls height, construction, and the permit. When the two conflict, your fence has to meet whichever is stricter.

What happens on the first day, and how long does a fence take?

Day one is demo. The old fence comes out and gets hauled off, and we can take other yard junk while we’re there. We start digging holes and setting posts the same day. Then framing, then pickets, then gates, then upgrades like a top cap. Most projects run two to three days, and our crew hauls off everything they create.
